I'm really looking forward to doctor's,
Follow up phone call tomorrow!


DOCTORS PEP TALK

I was told today that I,
Don't have long to live.
I believe that this is a lie,
I have so much more to give.

That was the doctor's,
Pep talk of the day, I fear.
She could have left it,
To at least the new year.

If I should die on Christmas day,
Don't put me in the ground.
Shedding many a sad tear,
Just put me in a toaster,
So I can pop up once a year.

I don't know where I'll end up,
Should you wish you can cremate.
Stick a couple of potatoes in with me,
I like the smell of potatoes, Cooking
In the grate.

Sorry to be such a useless grinch,
But when the wife heard.
What the doctor said,
It made her more than winch.

I know I shouldn't feel this way,
My doctor made me feel irate.
To tell me I haven't long to live,
But she couldn't give me a date.

As I said in one of my poems Dougie.
I haven't worked out where I'm going to spend eternity.
Smoking or non smoking..
Thanks for reading and caring Dougie.
Stupid thing is I received a text from the doctor's,
Asking me how would I rate my visit.
Under the circumstance I thought it was taken the
Proverbial. As for swearing I do if the occasion
Calls for it. For instance....
Doctor goes onto a ward, says "I want every patient
Fitted with a catheter". Nurse says, "Are you joking!".
Doctor replys. "No I'm taking the piss".
That's one of my jokes, feel free to use it.
Salutations my friend, regards Alan

You are not allowed to die Alan; well, we hope not, as where would we be without you?

The fact that you're writing about it means you've defeated death.
